Our take on the Bose® Lifestyle® 650 home theater system
by Crutchfield's Jeff Miller

Want the best all-in-one surround sound system that Bose® has to offer? You're looking at it. The Bose® Lifestyle® 650 home theater system features the company's most sophisticated slim-line speakers yet. Over 30 designers and engineers collaborated to create the tiny OmniJewel® speakers. These compact satellite speakers are crafted of milled aluminum, and each one projects detailed sound in an omnidirectional, 360-degree pattern. The result is more involving surround sound that will elevate movie nights and binge-watching to another level.

The premier home entertainment system from Bose®

The elegant Bose® Lifestyle® 650 system delivers full wraparound sound for your movies, shows, and music.

Want the best all-in-one surround sound system that Bose® has to offer? You're looking at it. The Bose® Lifestyle® 650 home theater system features the company's most sophisticated slim-line speakers yet. Over 30 designers and engineers collaborated to create the tiny OmniJewel® speakers. These compact satellite speakers are crafted of milled aluminum, and each one projects detailed sound in an omnidirectional, 360-degree pattern. The result is more involving surround sound that will elevate movie nights and binge-watching to another level.

The wider, aluminum-coated center channel speaker has five built-in drivers to help spread out the sound and make dialogue easy to hear. A sleek, glass top media control console handles all your audio or video sources – including 4K Ultra HD content. Plus, the surround speakers and the powerful Acoustimass®bass module communicate wirelessly for flexible placement. (Both the rear speaker module and Acoustimass® module plug into AC outlets for power.)

Wireless multi-room audio — Bose-style

Bose® SoundTouch® technology gives you an easy first step into whole-house music. It lets you stream online music services like Pandora® and Spotify® over Wi-Fi®, along with your library of downloaded songs. Built-in Bluetooth® lets you pair your phone to listen to any app you choose. Expand your system into different rooms by adding other SoundTouch® speakers. A helpful mobile app guides you through setup step by step, and it lets you control your whole system with your phone or tablet. Six preset buttons on the included remote give you quick, easy access to your favorite albums, internet radio stations, or playlists.

Easy setup and sound tailored to your room

Bose® can take cutting-edge stuff and make it really simple to use. For example, you can just plug all of your audio/video sources into the Bose® Lifestyle® 650's media control console and let the built-in Unify® technology take over. There are six total HDMI inputs – all 4K-ready. The system sends all connected video sources to your TV via a single HDMI connection, with resolution up to 4K.

The company's ADAPTiQ® auto calibration optimizes the system's settings for your room's unique size, shape, and furnishings. I've see it in action several times in our training room, and always walk away impressed. It even works through extreme examples of sound-muddying resonance — Bose sometimes covers speaker with coffee cans! If ADAPTiQ® can make that sound clear, think of how precisely it can dial in the sound in your living room.

Average Review:

Bose Lifestyle 650 is exactly what I was looking for in my home. It is ultra clear and the small Omni Jewel speakers are incredibly powerful. I've always enjoyed Bose and this system keeps me loving Bose.

Bose® Lifestyle® 650 home theater system

I will admit this is my third Bose entertainment (lifestyle) system and the sound is much better than on my old v35. I also really like the satellite speakers (design) and have noticed a huge difference with the center channel. From a sound standpoint, it has been a great investment/upgrade.
Setup and installation was very easy... just follow prompts on screen.
Dislikes: I don't like that I can no longer see control options on my tv. For example, when I change the volume or change source, the only place to see this information is on the controller... my v35 allowed me the option to see this info on my tv.
The remote does not seem capable of powering my LG tv on or off... this seems to be a well documented complaint on Bose forums and am hoping for software updates.... fingers crossed. Using the tv remote to power tv is ok, but it seems like Bose should be able to figure this out.

Great Sound, Mediocre Bose Customer Service, Worthless Remote Control

Love the style, love the sound, setup took forever but wasn't bad, and customer service had me waiting on hold forever before they, very politely, were unable to resolve some of the troubles I was having with their sleek but infernally frustrating remote control. I'm now using a Logitech Harmony One universal remote (no longer made) to control the Bose Lifestyle 650, Sony XBR-65A8F OLED TV, and Apple TV 4K, all properly connected with the latest and greatest HDMI cables. Thank goodness it worked! The Bose remote control is in the drawer with the rest of the junk.

Cons:RF/IR remote, and IR repeaters, did not do their job when trying to change TV channels and execute other functions, even after repeated "fixes" suggested by Bose "customer support". The Bose tech support person eventually put me into "hold purgatory" for a looong time, ostensibly to escalate the problem to a senior advisor for more help to resolve my technical issue. Eventually I gave up waiting and hung up.

Crutchfield responseon 5/22/2018If you purchased this product from Crutchfield, feel free to contact our Tech Support team. They can help you solve the problem. If you didn't purchase your system from Crutchfield, you may want to contact Bose at 800-999-2673 for further information about the 1-year warranty on this system.

Performs as Advertised

Set up was simple as advertised. The system walks you through setup with onscreen images and instructions. Wireless speakers all powered up and connected immediately. After software update from the internet, the system seamlessly integrated with our TV, Satellite Box, and Blu Ray player. The system fills our large family room with sound and offers more volume than needed.

Pros:Big sound from a small, discrete package

Cons:Universal remote required system firmware update before working fully

Bose® Lifestyle® 650 home theater system

So far, so good. Sound is very clear, and finally I don't have to use "closed caption" on British BBC series. Set up was reasonable with only some remote pairing issues that Bose cleared up in short order. Love the wireless rear speakers as I was not interested in crawling under the house to install wires.
All in all, Crutchfield is as always helpful, and maybe Bose got it right this time.

Superb sound

Richard from Mansfield, TX on 3/1/2017

Simply the best sound system I've heard in many years. The sound quality is something you have to hear to believe. It feels the room from all directions you cannot side where the music's coming from it's incredible.

Hands-on research

Product Research

OmniJewel Speakers
& Acoustimass Sub

OmniJewel Satellite Speakers: The Bose Lifestyle 650 features
four newly designed OmniJewel satellite speakers; two vertical front speakers and two vertical wireless rear speakers. Each of these tiny speakers features
a carefully milled aluminum housing with two acoustic enclosures for
dual-opposing drivers. This is the key to creating the first omni-directional
speaker from Bose for true 360° sound and a more spacious home theater experience.
Screw terminals on the back of each speaker provide connection between the
satellites and the control console using the included 20' proprietary speaker
cable.

Horizontal Center Channel Speaker: The center channel
speaker of the Lifestyle 650 system is wider than previous versions to match the
sleekness of your flat-panel TV. It features five precision drivers inside a
bass reflex enclosure that is coated in an anodized aluminum finish. A
proprietary connector on the back provides connection between the center channel
and the control console using the included 20' proprietary center speaker cable.

Wireless Rear Speakers: The front left/right satellite speakers and the center speaker need to be
hard-wired to the Control Console (20' speaker cable included). However, the rear speakers connect wirelessly
to the Control Console using the
included wireless receivers. Thanks to the included wireless receivers, you
will not need to run speaker wire from the surround speakers back to the
Control Console. However, you will still need to run speaker wire from the surround
speakers to the wireless receivers and plug the wireless receivers into AC
outlets. The wireless receivers have a range of about 33' and connect via a proprietary 2.4GHz RF signal.
Screw terminals on the back of each speaker provide connection between the
surrounds and the wireless receivers using the included 20' proprietary speaker
cable.

Wireless Acoustimass Module:
The system's OmniJewel speakers work in concert with the included Acoustimass
wireless bass module to deliver a fuller range of theater sound and effects.
This newly designed Acoustimass bass module delivers a dynamic range of bass
from a powerful 10" driver and generously sized port with QuietPort technology
that virtually eliminates distortion. The wireless range between the Acoustimass
bass module and the system's Control Console is approximately 10'. If you prefer
a hardwired connection, the Acoustimass bass module can be wired to the console
with a minijack (3.5mm) audio cable.

ADAPTiQ Audio Calibration: The ADAPTiQ audio calibration system is a
proprietary Bose technology that customizes the Lifestyle system's sound to the
unique size, shape and furnishings of the room it's in to ensure it delivers a
high-quality performance. To perform this audio calibration, you need about 10
minutes when the room is quiet. While wearing the special headset, the system
will ask you to place yourself in five different locations (sitting or standing)
in your listening area as the system takes measurements in each. Audio prompts
from the system will guide you through the process.

Tone & Level Controls: The bass can be controlled with the bass button
on the universal remote control or via the settings menu in the SoundTouch app.
The bass, treble, center and surround levels can be adjusted through the
universal remote control.

Mounting & Placement Options: The OmniJewel satellite speakers can be
simply table-top mounted, or you can mount the speakers on wall-brackets,
floor-stands, or table-stands (all sold separately). The Acoustimass wireless
bass module is meant to be placed on the floor (not on a shelf or table).

Place the front speakers equidistant to the left and the right of the TV.

Place the center speaker on a stable and level surface directly above or
below your TV, centered with the screen.

Place the wireless rear speakers toward the back of the room just behind the
listening area at ear
height (when seated) or higher, if possible. You will need access to an AC power
outlet for both speakers.

For best sound quality, the Acoustimass wireless bass module should be
placed on the floor against the same wall as the television and center
channel, with an electrical outlet nearby for the power cord.

AV Control Console

Control Console: All of the Bose Lifestyle 650 system's audio/video inputs
and outputs are found on the included Control Console. The Control Console is
outfitted with HDMI 2.0 connectivity, optical & coaxial digital inputs, analog
inputs, Ethernet jack, headphone jack, and proprietary speaker outputs. It also features
built-in WiFi and wireless transmitters for the Lifestyle system's rear speakers
and Acoustimass bass module.

4K Pass-Through: The Lifestyle 650 lets you maintain 4K
quality from source to screen by allowing 4K video to "pass-through" and be
displayed on a 4K TV or projector, without compromising image quality.
Giving you the pure 4K experience makes this system the perfect partner for
4K-capable TVs and Ultra-HD Blu-ray players. 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and
1080p video signal are also supported (there is no upscaling).

HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the system's
HDMI jacks. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content
Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for compatibility
with Ultra HD Blu-ray players, 4K Satellite/Cable providers, and 4k online
video services.

HDR (High Dynamic Range Video): HDR (High Dynamic
Range) reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness
levels, bringing greater contrast & wider color spectrum to the screen. This
increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed
blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth.
Previously hidden areas of dark shadow and sunlight are now full of clarity
and detail.

Note: The Lifestyle system does not offer analog video inputs and does not
support upscaling of video.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature of the system's
HDMI output allows audio to be sent from your ARC compatible TV to the Lifestyle
600 system through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and
video to your HDTV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your
television.

Dual Analog Inputs: The Control Console is fitted with two stereo
analog RCA audio inputs for connecting legacy devices.

Front-Panel Headphone/Aux Input: The Control Console's front-panel
minijack (3.5mm) input can be used as a headphone jack (default) or Aux input.

Proprietary Speaker Outputs: The Control Console features proprietary
speaker outputs for the center and front speakers, while the included wireless
receivers provide proprietary speaker outputs for the rear speakers. 20'
proprietary speaker cables are provided for all speakers.

Universal Remote Control

RF Remote: The Bose Lifestyle 650 system's advanced RF (radio
frequency) remote control works from practically anywhere in your room (up to
33') without requiring you
to aim the remote at the Control Console.

LCD Screen: The remote control's LCD screen guides you
through your sources and system settings. A power saver mode conserves
battery life by dimming the brightness of the remote control's LCD and
adjusting the duration that the display remains actively lit.

Glow Button: Pressing the glow button on the rear of
the remote illuminates the remote's buttons and display. The light turns off
automatically after several seconds to pro long battery life.

IR Emitter: The remote control also offers IR commands
using the included IR emitter cable to control up to three connected IR devices.

Unify Technology: Unify Intelligent Integration System uses
on-screen navigation to simplify system setup & everyday use. This proprietary
technology walks you through setup, showing the right inputs & best connection
options, & even verifies you've done it correctly. Clear, on-screen menus
provide all the information you need for your connected sources. The Unify
system is available at any time to help you connect and/or disconnect your
entertainment sources and even program the remote.

System Setup: Once an HDMI video connection is made between the
Lifestyle 650's Control Console and your TV, the Unify system walks you through
initial system setup, step-by-step. As you're connecting components to the
control console, the system recommends the best connectors via on-screen
messages. It even confirms that the connection was made properly.

Auto Input: Each device is then automatically added to
the source menu accessed on your TV screen. No more toggling through video
inputs to find the right source. If you add a Blu-ray player, it will be
shown as "Blu-ray" in the on-screen menu. This makes it easy & intuitive for
anyone to use the Unify system.

Remote Programming: The system's Unify technology
simplifies programming the Bose remote to control the Lifestyle system and
your components attached to it. During setup, the Unify system references an
internal database to identify each connected component, and automatically
teaches the Bose remote to control it.

HDMI-CEC: HDMI-CEC allows you to easily manage and operate the
Lifestyle system along with an HDMI-CEC compatible TV, Blu-ray player, satellite
receiver, and cable box with a single remote; when all components are connected
via HDMI. HDMI-CEC is supported by all the system's rear-panel HDMI inputs, but
not the front-panel HDMI input.

USB Port (Service Only): The system's USB-a port is
for service only. The USB-A port is not designed to playback or charge
smartphones, tablets, thumbdrives, or other similar devices.
